What Can I Do For My Inner Thing Like A Circle That Is Red On One Side Of It?

Posted on Thu, 24 Oct 2024

Question: Hi, I got out of the car yesterday, having the heated seat on high, I was shopping for like 4 hours with the heat on high on the seat. I go to the bathroom and notice on my inner thing like a circle that is red on one side of it. With a little bruise next to it. I was wondering if the heat from the car seat burned me. I didn’t have it that morning before I left, so I’m wondering if I burned myself from the car seat. It still hurts a little today, I’ve been putting aloe Vera on it that I keep in the fridge. I don’t think it’s a bug bite, I was outside like 3 days ago pulling weeds and got bit in a few places. But I didn’t notice anything until yesterday until I got out if the car. What can I do for it?

Brief Answer:
It can be a burn from the car seat.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.

It would be better if you upload a picture of the thigh on reports in order that I can create a better idea of it.
As you described it can be burned by car seat. In this case it is good using cold aloe vera gel. Also you can use silver sulfadiazine which is commonly used in first degree burn.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear thank you for asking again.
I see the picture you attached and it seems like a bruise and a red circle on thigh . It doesn't seem like insect bite but it may seem like a burn and even you hurt it to something .
You can use only aloe vera cream I think it will work.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

So it’s a bruise? What’s the red circle from? It’s not a burn or insect bite. So I must have hurt it somehow? I don’t remember hurting it anywhere only maybe my dog jumping off my lap with his nails in my leg or my mattress has some XXXXXXX sticking through. I don’t think I hit it on anything, but I can’t remember.

I have aloe Vera gel in the fridge or should I get crème?

Brief Answer:
Can be heat rash

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I think it can also be heat rash because of walking for long in hot weather. I think it is better to wash it with cold water ,dry it well and let it dry in open air.
It may go in 2-3days .
